A Queer Mexican Street,

Perhaps the best illustration of the
Catholic idea Of constantly reminding
people of their religion is the main
thoroughfare of the Mexican capital.
In the lump" it is known as the Gale
de San Francisco, but every one of its
seventeen blocks has different name,
and the buildings in each are numbered
in the usual haphazard fashion, with
out regard to the numbers in any other
block, or to numerical order in it's own.
Should you wish to go to house or
shop whose number is 5O0-if you set
out to look for "No. 500 San Francisco
street, you will probably find seven
teen buildings bearing that number be-
tween the grand plaza and the statue
of Carlos v, but no block at all which
is distinctively called San Francisco
street; therefore it is necessary to know
not only the street and number, but
the name Of the square in which that
particular 500 is located. In that
famous Gale de San Francisco some
OF the prominent names, translated
into English, are as follows: Street
of the Sacred Heart, Jesus street,
Street of the Love of God, Heart of
Jesus street, John the Baptist street,
Blood of Christ street, Crown of
Thorns street, Holy Ghost street,
Mother Of Christ street, Body of Christ
street, Fifth of May street, and Street
of the Sad an.-Gal0ddldjGrG Cor.

not q Prohibitionist of activity who
does not believe that the amendment
will be carried. What is still more
inspiring, the whisky side shows that
1t entertains the same belief.
The tactics of the rank and file of the
opposition in this State are not different
from their plans in other States, al
though the paid advocates of the rum
cause make the most piteous appeals
to their followers to curb their devilish
passions. Boycotting, rotten-egging,
threats, SANDERS, and all manner Of
falsehoods are what those who stand
up for Prohibition have to resist. At
San Antonio free speech was officially
suppressed by the City Council. That
city is the Detroit of Texas.
There is now promise that the col
ored vote will be pretty nearly equally
divided. At first the whisky managers
boosted that they could buy the "nig-
gers" like sheep; but the colored men
have rebelled against the insinuation,
and all the respected leaders among
them are for Prohibition.

ELEVATOR accidents are common,
and are often traced directly to the
victim himself 1t frequently happens
that four or five men get on freight
elevator and start up to their work.
Skylarking and scu!iiing is going on as
a matter of course, and when man
reaches the landing at the floor where
on he works, he is very apt to give his
neighbor punch in the ribs or knock
his hat down over his eyes, and then
make q jump for the landing without
taking the trouble to stop the elevator.
II foot slips, or the man stumbles,
there is every chance for an accident.
Perhaps it is broken ankle, or dis
located shoulder, but sometimes it is
death. There is great danger from
such actions while the elevator is as
cending, but there is still more danger
while the elevator is going down. Then
a misstep when leaping out of the car
may cause person to be caught be-
tween the landing and bottom of the
car, when horribly mangled body is
almost surely the result. In the mill.
how often man runs the risk of get
ting caught in belt, rather than put
himself to little extra trouble and be
perfectly safe. Long familiarity with
the dangerous belt had perhaps given
sense of security to the victim, and
before he is aware he is torn or killed.

THE FIGHT IN TENNESSEE.
A Very Bright Outlook-LadIes Actively a
Work.

"A very orieht Outl0ok-Ladies Actively at
Work.
Chattanooga Cor of the Voice;
The temperance ladies have been
putting in telling work for the Prohi-
bition amendment in this city. Mrs.
Lide Merriwether, President of the
State w. c. T. IT,; Mrs. Mary Z.
Wells. National w. G. T. U. Organ
1zer, and Mrs. Farley, President of the
State Colored w. G. T. u, have adj
dressed large audiences. The ladies
are very much pleased with their re-
ceptlon, and have done good deal of
practical work toward organizing the
women for the Prohibition campaign.
Rev: Dr.. G: G. Rankin, of the M. p.
Church, South, is making prohibition
speeches almost every night. Return
ing from tour of several counties
north of here, he reports that the most
gratifying activity prevails among the
people. In Meigs County he found that
there is not saloon, that the Jail has
not single inmate, and that only one
citizen represents the county in the
State Penitentiary. James County
shows almost as well; it has only one
man in jail, and he got there with the
nelp VI chattanooga whisky. McMlnn
County has one saloon, and it furnishes
10 Jail birds and delegates to the
penitentiry. Bradley County's four
saloons are productive of crime in pro-
portion; there are 126 prisoners in the
County Jail, and 100 representatives in
the State Penitentiary, and there have
been so divorce cases the last eight
years. Rhea County. with seven "a
looms, has crowded jail.
The liquor men at the beginning of
the canvass entertained strong hope
that there would be much indifference
in the country districts on account of
the operation Of the four-mile law. But
their hopes have failed to materialize.
All the reports indicate that there is as
much interest out in the country as
there is in the cities, if indeed there is
not more,

Extract from Waco Crexas) letter..
The Prohibition campaign is getting
hotter and hotter as the time of cleo
ton approaches. Less than six weeks
now remain before the vote will be
taken.
There are most encouraging evil
dences that the cause OF Prohibition is
gaining in every section of the State.
For while after the liquor State Con-
vention at Dallas, the Prohibition
workers were awed and showed signs
of slackness in work. But confidence
has been restored. and there is now

Surprising Effects Of Liquor in Mexico.

While in most climates one may i'm
bibe considerable quantities of the
usual intoxicants with comparative inn
punity, in these higher attitudes of the
tropics much smaller dose is sur
prisingly harmful. And right here per-
nit me to add that some unfortunate
Americans who have fallen into dis
grace because of undue conviviaity at
the Mexican capital really deserve COM
miseration rather than the contumely
that has been heaped upon them. In
most cases they were the victims OF
ignorance on their own part, or of sly
practical jokes perpetrated by the
Mexicans, who, however polite they
may appear, are at heart jealous of all
Americans and delighted to put them
at disadvantage. The same beverage
which gentlemen may use socially in
the north with no i'll effects, if partaken
here in equal measure first exhilarates
the imbiber beyond all account, and
then leaves him for days in state OF
utter stupidity. Most foreigners learn
this only by sad experience, and tile
"silded youth" of the capital find great
pleasure in initiating fresh-subiect,
especially if he come in the interests
of his Government. - Letter from
MeTicO.
BAsQuEs and polonaises divide favor
almost evenly at present, the former,
however, displaying an unusual variety
in styles and decoration. All basques
sit to the form very snugly, and many
handsome costumes of English tricot,
and other fine woolens in
stripes, checks, or of one plain color
will be worn during the late spring
months without any additional garment
except the Vandyke or monks hood

Win.
Portland Ore. special.
Although it is yet very early in the
campaign for the prohibition amend
ment which is to be voted on Nov. s,
the temperance people have made
good start for the victory. The w. G.
T. U. and the Prohibition Amendment
League are organizing and putting
speakers and canvassers in the field.
The feeling of the Prohibitionists who
understand political conditions through
out the State and the especial difficult
ties that will have to be met in this
canvass is, that the contest will be
close, but that the State will probably
vote for prohibition by from 1000 to
7 900 majority.

BENroN,s HAIR GROVER.

All who are BALD, all who are be-
coming BALD, all who do not want to
be BALD, all who are troubled with
DANDRUFF, or ITCHING of the scalp,
should use Benton's Hair Grower.
EIGHTY PER CENT. of those using it
have grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through
sickness and fevers the hair sometimes
falls off in short time, and although
the person may have remained bald
for years, if you use Benton's Hair
Grower according to directions, you
are sure of q growth of hair. In hun.
dreds of cases we have produced good
growth of hair on persons who have
been bald and glazed for years. We
have fully substantiated the following
| facts.
We grow hair in every case NO mat.
ter how long bald.
| Unlike other preparations it contains
no sugar of lead. or vegetable or min.
eral pOisons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dan
druff, and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is hair food, and
its composition ia almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
it's vitality.
| If your druggists have not got it we
will send it prepaid on receipt of price

morals is too frequently committed by
men of wealth and reputation, hi gh
character and of corresponding POSITION
in society. In connection with tn . re-
cent refunding of our State debt n,atur-
ing In December, it was disclosed that
some of the most prominent anG highly
respected men of our State held large
amounts of these bonds without having
ever paid a dollar of tax on the same or
having in any manner reported them for
taxation. The only excuse that has been
suggested for this is that the bonds were
supposed to be non-taxable; but 1t is
difficult to be patient with such a claim
when it is advanced by men of intelli-
gence, familiar with our constitution
and its requirement that all bonds shall
be taxed.
While such men thus disregard and
violate the law it must be expected that
our tax duplicate will continue to de-
cline instead of increase with our growth
and development. The harm they do is
not measured by the amount OF money
of which they deprive the State; their
example is bad, and fraught with evil to
the whole community.
There should, therefore, be seyerer
penalties provided for false returns and
a more rigid enforcement of the law for
the listing of bonds and other securities
and credits.
This is especially true OF
UNINCoRpoRATED BANKS.
Tt does not seem possible that they are
paving taxes on anything like an equit-
able basis as compared with the incorpo-
rated banks Of the State.
Take the banks of Columbus for Illus
tration. They are q fair example. There
are in this city eight unincorporated and
seven Incorporated banks. reported te
